They won't rock if AMD goes under ... given enough time. What would be the incentive to innovate and yet still keep prices reasonable like they are now? I have a 3GHz C2D and a DP35DP MoBo here, both Intel products, and they do rock (fast, stable, reliable) under both XP x64 and Ubuntu x64. I'll still buy AMD every other time as long as I can. A market monopoly is good for no one.
